Trending

A 32-year-old Palm Springs probationer is back behind bars in connection with gunfire that erupted outside a Jack in the Box restaurant in that city, according to police and jail records.

Ruben Navarro was arrested at 7:44 Saturday. July 26, along South Palm Canyon Drive and booked for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon, possessing a concealed weapon, being a felon in possession of a gun and ammunition, and violation of probation, jail records show.

Navarro was arrested just minutes after officers were dispatched to calls of a man shooting at another man in the parking lot of the Jack in the Box at 694 South Palm Canyon Drive.

Arriving officers spotted Navarro running away and detained him, Sgt. William Hutchinson said in a written statement that doesn't mention whether anyone or anything was hit by the gunfire.
